Healthy New You: Your Change For Life #2

I absolutely loved it. By far the best film in my opinion . I almost cried at the end, and I never cry at anything!!

It's been a mental battle for me (especially as I mentioned earlier the weight gain in a short period of time). The weirdest thing is that I'll look at myself in the mirror and I think about how I'm gaining muscle and look leaner than I did when I was that weight before, then I think it's all in my head and I look the same, then I think omg I'm getting fat all at the same time. The good news is that my lifts have started to go up which is always a good sign when on a bulk. In terms of diet I'm struggling to the calories in healthily so end up eating junk .

The good thing though is bulking during Xmas means I can enjoy a bit more food

I think I will want lots of lean meat, veg and fish after all the fatty Christmas foods so that's good.

I was kinda concerned about what would happen to my eating over the Christmas period (am away for two weeks) but now, I don't really care that much and won't change my plans too much to accommodate.

I mean, if you are back home for a few days to a week - it isn't going to screw anything up that badly.

I have one week with my own family and one with the girlfriend's so it will just be a case of eyeballing portions and guesstimating for a couple of weeks - no big deal. All that will happen is that my weight will go up or down 2-3lbs or so which isn't a massive problem.

We had Eid (an Islamic celebration, kinda like Christmas where you eat all sorts of unhealthy food) a few weeks back, and I ate a serious amount of crap for 2 days. Everything was oily, greasy, sugary/carby, no fresh vegetables/fruit, no cereal even... in fact I needed several days to recovery because i was feeling lethargic and sleepy a lot following it lol. Anyway, following that I lost 1 kg of weight the next week. No idea what that means, but my weight hadn't changed in about 3 months before that. Weird that.

So yeah, a bit of crappy eating won't have a major effect. Holidays are there to be enjoyed. Sounds corny, but there is something to be said of a good hearty meal and 'soul food.' It's only a handful of times a year that you're letting go anyway. In our culture, it's rude not to eat when your aunt puts food in front of you. They take that offensively! lol

You're doing really well, it is mentally tough but you've proven that you can do it just by starting to bulk. As long as you're keeping an eye on your weight you will never get massively fat! And if you're lifts are going up that's great For extra cals have you thought about stuff like adding peanut butter/olive oil to shakes?

The Xmas thing is what I'm thinking as well. As soon as Jan 2nd comes I'll be back to no starchy carbs and ~1800cals a day to make weight for Eastern Norwegian champs on 19th Jan. I think I will want lots of lean meat, veg and fish after all the fatty Christmas foods so that's good.

Today I had to try and make porridge without using scales as my friend borrowed them yesterday. It did not go well. I hope she brings them back soon.

Thanks for the encouragement. Never heard of peanut butter or oil in shakes how does it taste when you add them in. Usually I just add milk to it.

Your plan sound s like a good idea plus with the extra calories you may be able to increase your lifts before the competition as well

I think it works better in a blender, but if you add things to your shake it's an easier and better way to add calories than eating junk. So you take your normal protein shake, add nut butter and/or olive oil or a banana or some oats for example.

I hate that, my kitchen scales ran out ages ago and I havent got round to buying a battery so I've been avoiding cereal and other weighing stuff annoying

Well I enjoyed it haha, whether that means it was good or not is another matter!

I'm off to bed to prevent me from eating more chocolate!
